A football team has a squad of 24 players, 1/12 of their squad are suspended, some of the squad are injured, and this leaves only 14 players to choose a team from,
What fraction of the squad are injured?

1/3

Explanation:

1/12 of the squad are suspended:

1/12 x 24 = 24/12 = 2

So 2 player are suspended

24 - 2 = 22 player

And some are injured leaving 14 left to play:

22 - 14 = 8 players injured

So 8/24 is the fraction of injured player.

But 8/24 = 1/3 so we can say 1/3 of the whole squad are injured.
